[Mageia-dev] Switching from Cooker to Cauldron?

Hello,
+
+Now that GNOME3 is being imported to Cauldron, I'd like to switch my
+Mandriva Cooker installation to Cauldron.
+
+However, Cooker has a different rpm for a while and I have that
+installed.
+
+I'm guessing if I attempt to switch to Cauldron, it likely cannot read
+the rpm5 database.
+
+I can only think of a few things:
+1. Create a new partition, install Mageia 1 on that, switch to Cauldron,
+install all the non-automatic installed packages, copy stuff from the
+Cauldron partition to the existing one
+-> Not too sure about the copying. I've modified various things over the
+years (e.g. special Postfix setup and so on)
+2. Just attempt to install Cauldron, forcefully reinstall the packages,
+and ignore the rpm difference
+-> I think this will fail though
+3. Somehow export/downgrade the 'rpm5' info to rpm4. Is this possible
+and how?
+4. Wait for Mageia to have rpm5. Is this planned?
+
+
+Any advice?
+
+
+Note: I don't mind some ugly workaround. e.g. I switched from i386->x86_64
+without reinstalling. My Cooker installation is from 2004 or so.

+Regards,
+Olav
+
+PS: As I want to use Cauldron I used the -dev list. Hope that's ok.
